Happy Valentine's Day - Introducing... Ink & Flip Geometric Heart Layering Stencil

We start off the introductions for the Uniko birthday release with another of Bev's Ink and Flip stencils.

This time as it's Valentine's Day she's designed a heart shaped one. Here's my take.

It is a two part stencil, one to create a background and one to create this fractured heart pattern.

To begin I inked up the first side of the stencil with Abandoned Coral DOx then wiped it clean, flipped it over and repeated this time using Worn Lipstick DOx. The fracture pattern gives the heart a sense of dimension, so I went one further and decided to use some very old embossing tools and a mat to give the heart a padded look. I started by placing the other part of the stencil over the inked heart and using a fine ball tool, drew around the heart, then flipping over to repeat the process. Once I had the outline, I flipped the inked panel over and using a couple of large ball tools and the mat, raised up the heart shape. A smaller heart shape cut from white fun foam was glued behind the heart before the panel was added to an A6 base card.

You can see the end result a little better here.

A simple Sentiment Blocks sentiment stamped with Abandoned Coral on white and trimmed down complete.

That's all from me for today but pop back tomorrow for another release intro.

In the mean time why not check out the rest of the girls ideas here.
